popped. So something has shorted on the secondary side of the
power transformer, but it was receiving just before that happened.
I discovered the fuse had been replaced by one way overrated
so I'm wondering if the correct one had been blowing.

I have not attempted to test the transmitter as I do not have a
suitable antenna or dummy load.

I'm thinking only enthusiasts would want such an old radio and
they would be prepared to fix minor problems.

I paid AU$100 for it including a microphone and freight from
an online auction not eBay.
